O Canada

So Mike is finally due to come out of the field (he's been gone for almost 3 weeks). One thing I've learned quickly about his new unit here at Ft Lewis is that they like to go to the field, a lot. During his time at Ft Carson he only went to the field a handful of times (Of course he was also deployed for 2 of the 3 years we where there). Here he goes to the field often at least 3 or 4 days a month, if not more often. So I guess you never know what to expect.

Anyways to celebrate his return from the field, and the long Memorial Day weekend we're taking a trip to Canada. We're only a few hours from the border here and we've been wanting to take a trip up north but haven't because Olivia doesn't have her passport yet. We just found out that she doesn't actually need a passport so away we go. I've planned quite the elaborate weekend get away, we're leaving this afternoon on the ferry to go to Victoria, British Columbia for the night, then tomorrow we're off on a different ferry to go over to Vancouver, British Columbia for Saturday and Sunday nights then we're driving back across the border into Washington and home (by way of Ikea to hit their big Memorial Day Sale) on Monday. I hope that Mike gets some sleep on the way home from the field because I've got quite the weekend planned! Check back next week for pictures! Hope everyone has a great Memorial Day weekend!
